Thread the Needle Day

Today (Friday, July 25) was National Thread the Needle Day. Who knew? I didn’t yesterday, but I do now. The internet is a marvelous thing – just full of useless facts you never needed to know!

But that’s beside the point. The point is how did I celebrate Thread the Needle Day? With needle and thread, of course! Imagine that!

I stitched some hexies. This seems to happen just about every day, although not for long periods. It’s great for sitting in front of the TV but since I don’t watch much TV this project is taking a looooong time!

I also threaded a beading needle and finished the fringe on this butterfly. This particular project has been languishing since mid-June. Today it got finished!

My doll club took a class on making these boxes to display small dolls – or any art/craft/ephemera, really. Now that my box is finished I need to decide what to display in it. My finished dolls are all too large. I guess I will have to make a new one!
